For good or for worse ? we'll live and see i guessthe world is going to be a very different place

For good or for worse ? we'll live and see i guessthe world is going to be a very different place
My thought exactly. Time will tell. Lots of potential but expectedly it comes with risks. Speaking of tinnitus, I started experiencing some symptoms (or at least they could be) and I will see a doctor next week. I thought it had to do with my blood pressure but I'm not sure anymore. It happens seemingly in a random way, cannot spot the pattern/what causes this unpleasant ear drumming.For good or for worse ? we'll live and see i guess![]()
My point of view for most happenings nowadays.For good or for worse ? we'll live and see i guess![]()

Thanks. Although I do have it 24/7, sometimes is just more pronounced and it feels really bad. I guess you just make peace with it, because once you suffered that hearing damage, there's nothing you can do to make it better.Honestly I have a lot of sympathy for people who have this 24/7, I genuinely can't even imagine.

Yep, nightclubs and rock gigs introduced me into a lifetime of high-pitched buzzing till the end of days. I have since resigned to the idea of tech/science not advancing enough until I die, lol.I got mine (tinnitus) mostly at a Techno festivals I've attended when I was somewhere between 15-25 years old.

Noise-cancelling headphones have been a huge boon - since I've switched to them, ears get tired much, much less.

Yep, years of concerts, still go to life is beautiful and many others, but unless it's someone I really want to see, Illenium, Odessa, etc... We stay way back to enjoy the music and experience.
Wearing ear plugs to get life quieter and always when running loud tools makes a huge difference.

@VSG would be the one to ask about this, I don't test headphones.I never thought of ANC helping with this issue since it is internal, this is good to note. @Veseleil Something you might want to look into.
@Dristun I wonder if this scales with the level of ANC? Like if you have top tier ANC from $399 Bose or Sony headphones, would it help your issue even more than say budget tier ANC? @VSG @TheLostSwede this would be cool to test and see.

The more I'm exposed to repetitive or droning loud-ish noises, the more ringing I start to notice again (it's always there but "get used to ignore it" works to a certain extent), so it gets much worse if I spend 4 hours near a highway than after a short but very loud gig, for example. I have no idea how this works, haha. ANC helps a lot because it's great at just that - eliminating all the average noise and hum. Sometimes I just put the headphones on without any music or anything and it's so much comfier to walk on a busy street. I imagine some might feel worse with ANC if their ears are sensitive to pressure, as you can actually feel it a bit when you crank the NC to the max. I do use the $299 Sony ones, WH1000XM3.I never thought of ANC helping with this issue since it is internal, this is good to note.

No.I was thinking today, would it be possible to reverse ANC? Like have ANC detect the frequencies that are ear ringing, and cancel it out? ANC works by taking outside noise and matching it, canceling it before it enters the ear

@Space Lynx
As mentioned above, tinnitus that is completely unconnected to any other underlying conditions is a completely neurological condition. There isn’t anything that a sound wave modulation can do. In cases of tinnitus being a symptom of something else it can often lessen or even disappear completely when those issues are treated. It is what it is. It’s an annoyance that people just have to learn to manage. Not too dissimilar to eye floaters, which many myopic people develop with time. Though, I suppose those are theoretically treatable with vitrectomy (not worth the risk), vitreolysis (iffy effectiveness) and there are ongoing research into pharmaceutical solutions, though I am not sure how that will pan out seeing how the vitreous isn’t connected to metabolic system in order for the drug to reach it. Direct injection, perhaps, though that’s also a risky solution.
